This is the real life story of a 25 year old fighting the fight of her life with breast cancer and then at 29 finding a recurrence and having to make life changing decisions. This is my story.

You've done it before and you can do it now. See the positive possibilities. Redirect the substantial energy of your frustration and turn it into positive, effective, unstoppable determination. Ralph Marston

I've been known as a strong willed, independent, and stubborn girl and woman. Maybe it all was planned to be that way so that I could succeed in this fight. I learn more about myself each day and what I can handle and what's really important in this world.

Quick Update...

I am waiting for my oncologist to consult with oncologists in Chapel Hill about my case to determine if I will have chemo and if so, what kind.  So waiting to hear back about that and then we can start radiation and get that knocked out quickly.

My surgeon said that the tumor came back with clear margins - woo hoo! The means he was able to remove the entire tumor and no additional surgeries at this time.  The side that was against my implant had a clear margin of 3 mm. If you aren't sure of how big that is.... it is freakin' small! 

The last few days have been busy and insane, I'm ready for a little calm time.
